Here follows the new kernel dumping infrastructure.

Caveats:

The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.

I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).

Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.

All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.

Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.

Details:

ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.

Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.

Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.

All maintainer rights for this code are disclaimed: feel free to
improve and extend.

Fix warning: 186: warning: label `done' defined but not used

Make the disk mini-layer check for and handle zero-length transfers
instead of the underlying drivers.

Actually biofinish(struct bio *, struct devstat *, int error) is more general
than the bioerror().

Most of this patch is generated by scripts.

Last commit was broken.. It always prints '[CTRL-C to abort]'.
Move duplicate code for printing the status of the dump and checking
for abort into a separate function.

Change the dump routines to only abort if control-c is pressed.
If any other key is pressed, print a message stating that control-c
is how to abort.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no

Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

Remove B_READ, B_WRITE and B_FREEBUF and replace them with a new
field in struct buf: b_iocmd. The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.

This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

Revamp the devstat priority system. All disks now have the same priority.
The same goes for CD drivers and tape drivers. In systems with mixed IDE
and SCSI, devices in the same priority class will be sorted in attach
order.

Also, the 'CCD' priority is now the 'ARRAY' priority, and a number of
drivers have been modified to use that priority.

This includes the necessary changes to all drivers, except the ATA drivers.
Soren will modify those separately.

This does not include and does not require any change in the devstat
version number, since no known userland applications use the priority
enumerations.

This file contained the structures for cfdata (old style config) and is no

It confuses the remote debugger as the definition of 'struct device' in
device.h is found before the one in bus_private.h.
